ethan,
an item in the Red Hat Linux 8.0 Release Notes says:
DMA is disabled on CD-ROM drives in this release in a different but more
reliable way than previously. If you are sure that your CD-ROM drive is
capable of IDE DMA, place the following line in the
/etc/modules.conf file:
options ide-cd dma=1
I can't make up my mind about the pants, but I hope this solves your DVD
problem.
